This is no joke,“Bitchy Resting Face” is a debilitating disease that can attack women of any age and can result in her looking “thoughtfully sad or angry for no reason.”

Oh, we’ve got a reason.

Here’s the PSA describing this most serious affliction modern women “face”:

I think you’ll agree with my diagnosis that Lady M is suffering from this disorder.

The cause of the affliction is unknown, butt researchers think that several factors contribute to it including the following:

The company you keep:

Un-earned honors received:

The company you keep:

Pearls:

Bad hair days (and pearls):

The company you keep:

Really bad hair days (and the company you keep):

Bad hair days (and Aunt Esther frocks):

Badly tailored suits (and pearls):

Gardening that’s a little too organic:

oh yes, and the company that you keep:

Butt Lady M doesn’t suffer from the simple, mundane form of Bitchy Resting Face; as is her fashion, she has taken the pathology to a new level - Restless Bitchy Resting Face Syndrome:

Anyway you look at it, it’s a bitch.

Help us fight this horrible disease by making a 501(c)4 tax exempt contribution to Organizing For America of just $5 or more today. Only you can prevent BRF, because I just found out it’s not covered by Obamacare.

Oh really? We’ll see about that. The Republicans are not going to get away with this war on women with BRF. Trust me on that.

Did you see yesterday’s unanimous Supreme Court decision on Myriad Genetics patent on genes? The Supremes said you can’t patent something that you didn’t invent.

Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the decision for a unanimous court. "Myriad did not create anything," Thomas said. "To be sure, it found an important and useful gene, but separating that gene from its surrounding genetic material is not an act of invention."

In essence the court found that Myriad Genetics didn’t build their genes on their own. Somebody else did that for them.

So that’s good news; being able to keep your genes I mean.

Let me provide you with a quickie course in genetics for those of you who didn’t major in biology.

First of all genes serve a specific purpose:

Which should be self-evident

there are Mom genes:

And Dad genes.

Genes come in all colors:

Black:

White:

Black and white:

And everything in-between:

Genes tend to pass on their characteristics to offspring:

Genes dictate everything from looks to talent. For example there are dancing genes:

Dancing Mom genes

and LGBT dancing genes:

As well as your plain old fashioned wuss genes:

Jean Karré throws a pass

Then you’ve got your smart genes:

your really smart genes:

Your really, really smart double-helix genes:

and then you have your not-so-smart genes:

Nice socks!

The court didn’t, however, say that there wasn’t a role for manufactured genes:

But the court held out a lifeline to Myriad Genetics, the company with an exclusive patent on the isolated form of genes that can foretell an increased genetic risk of cancer. The justices said it can patent a type of synthesized DNA that goes beyond extracting the genes from the body.

That’s good news! The completely synthetic, manufactured genes are a keeper!

Manufactured genes: good for propaganda purposes

And that means that Lady M’s 100% synthetic Caboodle genes are safe as well!

So allow me to recap this very important Supreme Court decision: if you like your genes, you can keep your genes. Just like your healthcare plans.

Be sure to say “thank you” at the mid-term election.

Unless of course we decide to replace your genes with some GMO (genetically modified organisms) of our own design that we think will work better. Because remember, you didn’t make those genes on your own, somebody else did that for you.

So if you thought things odd before, they are growing exponentially more so with each passing day. As, indeed, they have ever since roughly January 20, 2009. So we are left with more and more questions and fewer and fewer answers.

An official statement from the FBI says that special agents Christopher Lorek and Stephen Shaw fell out of a helicopter while training a complex exercise. The agents were supposed to be lowered on a rope on a ship from a helicopter. For yet unknown reasons, the two agents fell out of the helicopter and were killed in the fall.

And what about the killing of Ibragim Todashev (the Tsarnaev brothers’ friend about to turn state’s evidence)? Did that have anything to do with anything?

There's also the matter of the alleged confession that, by this latest account, Todashev had already started to write.

Why hasn’t anybody seen any of that yet? Inquiring minds want to know; which pretty much leaves the media out of the loop.

Herein is the problem: until recently the MSM had relegated paranoia to the exclusive purview of the rightwing, principally Tea Party, element of society. Now Edward, our hero/goat leaker, has turned every element and extreme of the political spectrum into a bunch of paranoids.

This has got to stop. Big Guy said so.

Not wishing to be prosecuted for revealing state secrets, I’m not at liberty® to tell you anymore. So instead I leave you with Mark Twain’s sage observation:

It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.

And that goes for Mr. Edward Snowden as well. He may - or may not - be a double, or even a re-doubled, agent. We don’t know, and we’re not about to find out. So if I were Eddie, I’d stay out of sushi bars for awhile. If you know what I mean, and I think you do.

O/T, butt that reminds me, here’s an educational video on the multi-cultural aspects of sushi, developed by the Department of Education during their team building seminar in Tokyo last year.

NOTE - body count from this post (not counting dirtbag Tamerlan), 4: friend of Tamerlan’s, 2 FBI agents who shot Tamerlan, and Litvinenko, former officer of the Russian FSB and KGB. Litvinenko has no known connection to Tamerlan or Snowden, butt just a reminder that it’s not good to make enemies in high places with low values.

You may recall from back in the day of the Bubba bimbo eruptions that “everyone lies about sex.” The efficacy of that defense started a new trend in government relations (no pun intended). Now everybody lies about everything.

Washington ain’t what it used to be: The quality of lies is in steep decline.

Former Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska once damned fellow Democrat Bill Clinton with faint praise by saying he was “an uncommonly good liar.” Now we have Eric Holder.

Despite lots of practice, the attorney general remains an amateur with whoppers. His claim to Congress that he never heard of the Justice Department’s “potential prosecution” of a journalist for reporting classified material wasn’t just misleading — it was provably false.

“I responded in what I thought was the most truthful, or least untruthful, manner by saying ‘no,’” Clapper told NBC News on Sunday.

On Sunday, Clapper elaborated: “This has to do with of course somewhat of a semantic, perhaps some would say too cute by half. But it is—there are honest differences on the semantics of what—when someone says ‘collection’ to me, that has a specific meaning, which may have a different meaning to him.”

Despite then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's denials that pleadings from Ambassador Chris Stevens, killed in the terrorist attack, never reached her desk, the interim Benghazi report concludes that:

"Reductions of security levels prior to the attacks in Benghazi were approved at the highest levels of the State Department, up to and including Secretary Clinton. This fact contradicts her testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on January 23, 2013."

Susan Rice, a spectacular fivefold liar as US Ambassador to the UN, has now been rewarded by the president to be National Security Advisor, for her laying down the scent to divert the beagles and hounds in hot pursuit of the truth about Benghazi.

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

And 2) who is left to hold “the precious truth?” I don’t know the answer to that last question just yet.
